Is any protection required for the lead fumes when you do the graphics?  :naughty:

Good luck, Gina, although I suspect that you don't need it!  :yahoo:

I have no idea.  Results usually come in the mail like 2 weeks after but I have inside people that can tell me I passed unofficially  if I did.

PLease send me good vibes. My stomach is in knots!

Okay Gina, it's almost 8:30 and you should be starting.  I can almost feel your stomach knots from here!

You'll be in my thoughts all day.  You're going to pass this thing!

I think I failed it.  I got all   :panic: when I was figuing some ranges plus they gave me this eraser and it just made black marks so I just blew it I think.  There were 6 parts to the test 8:00am til 11:30am so I am wiped out and with a headache. 

I really do think I failed it though.  :(

Don't jump to that conclusion just yet.  I've actually passed tests that I was certain I'd failed the day I took them.  Granted, it was by the skin of my teeth, but I passed.

In the event that you didn't pass can you take it again in the future? 

I feel bad for you!  I never got test anxiety, but my poor daughter used to.  She sounded so much like you with the stomach problems.

Well if I didn't pass it, it will go on the board inside.  If no one passes it and they shouldn't because it a job specific to our dept and if you ain't doing it now you ain't gonna figure it out on a test.  So if no one inside passes it then it goes outside and same thing with not thinking anyone would be able to pass it.  So then it would come back inside and go to the guy that has been here longer than me so far, he failed it and that is why I got to take it.  So if he failed it then I would take it again.  :banghead:

If I don't get this grade 11 job, I did take another test grade 10 and passed it so I just have to take the 2nd part of it to get that grade 10.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I knew it!  I was unsuccessful in my test.  I really freaked out on the ranges, only had 20 minutes to do them and I got confused.  Oh well, it might come back around to me.
